Ouachita Co, LA

Re: your post

April, I have seen it spelled this way on an old map (ca: Civil War). I have a copy somewhere...I'd have to look for it. My grandfather told me that they spelled it this way also at one time. My relatives went up to Ouachita County, AR from LA. Carolyn & Carolyn and I think there is a ralationship with our relatives...afterall, my Oachita County, AR is due north from Ouachita County, LA ..just on the Oachita River. And it is an unusual name. Were your family members in AR or LA.? There is a branch in Orange Co, TX...they might be related somehow too. Sandy
